Modern methods of attracting foreign investment in economic sectors

partners who can invest, have modern production and 
management technologies and help to enter foreign 
markets. Attracting large amounts of foreign 
investment is seen as an important condition for 
achieving the reconstruction of the national economy. 
The main goal of foreign entrepreneurs is to 
establish a strong foothold in the existing market, to 
control financial flows, to circumvent import and 
currency restrictions, and sometimes to squeeze a 
competing enterprise out of the market. That is why 
foreign investors cannot be considered as the main 
driving force in boosting the economy. Attracting 
foreign investors, creating benefits for foreign 
entrepreneurs, should be based primarily on the 
interests of the country. It should be borne in mind 
that if the control over the enterprise belongs to 
foreign entrepreneurs, then the decision-making and 
income will move out of the country. 
A decision that is beneficial from the point of 
view of business owners can be detrimental to the 
country’s economy. For example, if an enterprise is 
liquidated, the income of its employees will also be 
lost, government revenue will be reduced, and the 
state will have to bear the cost of hiring unemployed 
employees. That is why the involvement of foreign 
partners should be based on the balance of interests 
of all parties involved in this project. Many business 
leaders in Uzbekistan, as well as in other countries 
with economies in transition, are ready to cooperate 
with foreign partners. But research shows that their 
actions are somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, 
administrations are willing to retain control over their 
enterprises, on the other hand, they believe that 
foreign investors will take on many production facilities 
and financial problems specific to the transition period. 
One of the reasons that complicates the 
relationship between business leaders and foreign 
investors is that they understand the difficulty of 
imagining the investment process. According to the 
company's management, a more complex stage of the 
investment process is the attraction of investment and
